Great! Says I've got about 12 minutes to go. I sure hope after all this "farting around" I like this mod :lol:

Thanks again.

Now, is this one of those files that should only be installed when I'm in port, or can I fire this up anytime? I'm currently at sea on a mission. :roll:

Harbor Traffic mod changes game configuration files. Therefore, it should only be installed when you're docked at base or you should revert back to an IN BASE BEFORE MISSION savepoint the next time you return to your career.

Thanks Avon.

Now, I've got my 'fair haired' boys out on patrol right now. What if I 'invented' a new guy just to install the mod. Would that effect the 'real' career guy, or just the 'throw away' captain?

Probably should just get it ready in the mod installer and wait until (and if) I get back to port huh... :hmm:

Maybe I should go back to Checkers....

Just a bit of advice KT... never ever install any mod while at sea. Always do it while docked in port... just to be safe. ;)

I've found that out the hard way on some mods I thought would be ok to install while at sea. Result, I lost a great career that was in March of 44 just from being in a hurry.

Listen to Avon and GT182. Installing a mod like that will affect ALL your kapitans. If any one of them is at sea it will wreck his patrol.

I have four careers going right now (one at a time of course), so I know whereof I speak. :hulk:

Wuzzzup? :oops:

1. Install 7zip
2. Open 7zip File Manager
3. Go to Tools --> Options
4. Select (chackbox) Associate extension 7z with plugin 7-zip
5. Apply
6. File --> Exit
7. Reboot (probably this is not required but re-boot anyway :88) )
8. Install Firefox :up:

Kaptan Tommy 01-24-06 06:35 PM

Thanks VonHelsching, I like the sound of that. I'll do it (all except that last one about Firefox - I'm sticking to Netscape - and that's that.. :x)

:lol:
